Public safety software and services backlog growth measures year-over-year growth in contracted future Software and Services revenue.
Motorola Solutions reported 11% segment backlog growth in Q2 2026, an increase of $1.2B from the year-earlier level.
Multi-year service contracts can build backlog
Motorola said growth was driven by strong demand across Mission Critical Networks, Command Center, and Video.
Longer-duration managed and support arrangements can create a different backlog profile from hardware-heavy orders.
Backlog and remaining performance obligations are close but not identical
Motorola states that remaining performance obligations generally equal disclosed backlog, except certain Software and Services contracts can be limited by customer termination-for-convenience provisions.
Use the measure with software and services sales growth and products and systems integration backlog growth.
